DAYS 1-5 (DECEMBER 15-19)
\nA double-barrel low pressure area will impact the region to varying degrees this weekend, the first passing south of the region today. A little very light rain passed through parts of the region overnight but during the day today most of the rain will be right along or just offshore of the South Coast. The second low will get a little closer later Sunday and intensify as it passes southeast of Cape Cod early Monday. This puts the region into a better position to get rain and snow, and where snow occurs some accumulation may take place. See below for preliminary numbers. As the second low pulls away and intensifies, it will pull down a batch of cold air which will be accompanied by gusty winds by a return to dry weather through Tuesday. As high pressure moves overhead it will remain cold but be more tranquil Wednesday. Forecast details…
